FAQ

No. I am not an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of South Carolina, and I may not give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice. Additionally, I cannot prepare documents for you. Documents must be 100% completed but unsigned until the notary is present. Prestige can refer signers to the receiving agency of a document or an attorney if they have questions, so they can receive proper instructions or advice.

No. I can only provide notarial acts in the following states: Georgia and South Carolina.

Georgia Law: Notaries Public have authority anywhere within the State of Georgia to:

  1. Witness or attest signature or execution of deeds and other written instruments;
  2. Take acknowledgments;
  3. Administer oaths and affirmations in all matters incidental to their duties as commercial officers and all other oaths and affirmations which are not by law required to be administered by a particular officer;
  4. Witness affidavits upon oath or affirmation;
  5. Take verifications upon oath or affirmation;
  6. Make certified copies, provided that the document presented for copying is an original document and is neither a public record nor a publicly recorded document, certified copies of which are available from an official source other than a notary; and provided that the document was photocopied under supervision of the notary; and
  7. Perform such other acts as notaries are authorized to perform by the laws of the State of Georgia.

SC Law: A notary public’s jurisdiction extends throughout the State of South Carolina but does not extend beyond its borders (§26-1-80). Jurisdiction is limited to the physical borders of South Carolina, and notarial acts cannot be performed outside of the state. However, documents for use in another state may be notarized in South Carolina as long as the notarization physically takes place within the borders of the state. South Carolina law does not allow out-of-state residents to become South Carolina notaries public, even if they are employed within the State of South Carolina.

Virtually any document can be notarized. However, there are exceptions, such as vital records like birth, marriage, and death certificates. Notaries cannot make or certify copies of these records. Individuals must go to the government agency that issued the certificate to obtain copies.
